the power of afghanistan is in the regions, in the tribes. to have a government that's centralized right now means corruption. let us do that regionally. and give us back weapons so we can defend ourselves against the taliban who is already moving. and in answer to this administration's wonderful gestures of kindness and we'll release your murderers, we had them kill seal team 6, a big number of our people. that wasn't enough. in september, they killed one of the war lords, just as a handful of us were about to go have a meeting with him again. the message is clear, the taliban have not learned nothing. there's only one thing they understand, that's force. and it's like career criminals that i dealt with as a judge, if you want to be protected, you've got to put them where they can't hurt you anymore. they're murderers who have been put where they can't hurt us anymore and this administration is now talking about releasing them. so we have a two-fold front of problems, one is the economy, where the wall street executives that contribute 4-1 t
